Oops, I've just noticed the date on this...

We've just finished dinner and while clearing away the rubble I've noticed the best before end date on this.
🤣
It tasted delicious so I'm not worried.
But it amused me

At least its a best before and not a use by
Hope you survive

I was thinking the 2017 date was a bit long but then realised that was the packing date. It's only 20 months past. It's fine.

Every time I realise I've used something drastically out of date, I think to myself I need to organise myself better with a FIFO system. But I never do and I live to tell the tale.

Really, wasn't everything best before March 2020?

thanks.

I've made meringues many times from eggwhites that were frozen for even longer (the longest was 6.5 or 8.5 years) and all was fine.

Best post ever

🤣🤣
you are quite right - though I remember Chernobyl and it was definitely better before that

Well you're not dead yet so I'm sure you'll be OK.

@OchonAgusOchonOh
what's a FIFO date?

don't make me Google. I did that today with something else & ended up reading about Ötzi the iceman and ended up running late!

I'm most grateful for your support.

This has really cheered me up after a tricky day

And now I have to go off and Google Ötz...

@OchonAgusOchonOh

ah, yes. we do that with bread stuff & all fridge things.
Freezer - clearly not😁

Enjoy reading about him. it's fascinating

I poisoned us with frozen tuna once. Didn't hit till the next day so you're not out of the woods yet.

Praying for you

There needs to be some sort of award for this. Won the internet never mind the thread!

On a serious note, OP, I think things are only ok in the freezer for up to six months. I hope you'll be ok!

Did it taste ok?

But it says best before After that date it's quality that suffers rather than it being dangerous

Ötzi is indeed fascinating.

@GreenLunchBox

yup!
I baked it with chives & salt in satsuma juice. it was very nice.

Anything frozen is fine

Wow, that sounds lovely!

If it's deep frozen then imo it doesn't matter how long it's in there. As pp said, manufacturers put best before date for flavour (and to sell more). YABU though, about the satsuma juice! I blame MasterChef
